                    I work full-time outside of the home, so I relish recipes like this that can be prepared in a flash. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1 small onion, chopped  |  
                                                1 small carrot, sliced  |  
                                                1 tablespoon olive oil  |  
                                                2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) chicken broth  |  
                                                1 cup water  |  
                                                3/4 teaspoon salt  |  
                                                1/4 teaspoon pepper  |  
                                                1 can (15 ounces) white kidney or cannellini beans, rinsed and drained  |  
                                                2/3 cup uncooked small spiral pasta  |  
                                                3 cups thinly sliced fresh escarole or spinach  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. In a large saucepan, saute onion and carrot in oil until onion is tender. Add the broth, water, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Stir in beans and pasta; return to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until pasta and vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Add escarole; cook until just wilted. Yield: 4 servings.                              |
